I have the same question/confusion. I'm not sure what the benefit is of merging the projects? I get they are very close feature wise but why physically combine and make Remix features an opt in vite plugin vs just keeping the projects separate repos?

Remix is already essentially a Vite plugin + React Router. That change was started at least 9 months ago and went stable 3 months ago.

At this point the separation between the two projects is seeming more and more like a lot of rigmarole for nothing. Imagine running two projects that are 90% the same, and every time you change one you have to make a release and update the other, etc etc.
